The Colombian economy owes its growth to investment and steady exportation, following the economic downfall caused by the pandemic. However, as inflation rises, it is predicted that investment will slow down due to the global economic crisis. Nevertheless, the growth of the Colombian economy has expanded novel areas of IP practice.
